Risk for composite vascular events increased at threshold of 6.8 to 7.0 percent for patients with ischemic stroke, diabetes

Those with lowest insulin resistance, as measured by highest estimated glucose disposal rate, had lowest risk for stroke, death

Authors say low-field portable magnetic resonance imaging may be useful in resource-limited settings

Vivistim System is a prescription therapy for ischemic stroke patients who have moderate-to-severe difficulty moving their arms and hands

Stroke risk increased with sedentary time of at least eight hours a day for those younger than 60 years with low physical activity

After adjustment for multiple variables, widespread pain appeared to increase subsequent risk

Dose-response relationship seen; most of the risk reduction occurred between 0 and 20 metabolic equivalent hours/week

More patients have good outcome with MIST model versus drip-and-ship model in early window within six hours of stroke

Low levels of HDL cholesterol and having two or more components of metabolic syndrome predict recurrence

Intensive BP lowering after intracerebral hemorrhage linked to poorer outcomes in patients with decreased renal function
